摘要: Ferroelectric relaxor P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer can generate a hysteresis-free polarization of 47mC∕m2 at an electric field 100MV∕m and is attractive for many potential actuating sensing applications. Fourier transform infrared spectra under reveal that this large originates from the field-induced crystalline phase transformation. The nonpolar TGTG′ chain conformation in be converted into polar trans (Tm>4 T3G) high latter effectively aligned to applied direction. Furthermore, transformation completely reversible no hysteresis observed during switching field. In contrast, normal ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE) exhibits square loop with very small polarization.
